NOTE 7 - Oilstone Cohort November 2016.
The fourth, 4 day Oilstone program completed in November 2016
The Oilstone program was run for a new cohort of 11 Christian leaders in November 2016.
The program, at the beautiful venue Golden Grove, Newtown, involved four days and three evenings of resources and equipping.
Our pastoral leaders were from a variety of contexts: 'pastoral' size suburban church, 'pastoral' size University church, 'program' size capital city and provincial city churches, and 'corporate' size Sydney suburban church, as well as leaders from church planting and independent church networks.
Participant feedback:
All guys expressed warm appreciation of the program.

''Oilstone was very intense (13 hour days + homework), but the material was superb and everything I hoped for and needed it to be'

'It was an inspiring and encouraging experience... Oilstone met and exceeded my expectations. The things we covered in the programme will serve me (and our church) well for many years to come... The programme directors, Peter and Michael, run the programme to inspire pastoral leadership specifically....we were always adding what that really means for us training and disciple-making!
